we have a new poll that shows 8% of latinos have already voted. furthermore, the poll finds that 87% of latinos say they're certain to vote by november the 6th. could that level of turnout do you think, lily, give the president a significant margin of victory in places like florida and nevada? >> absolutely. and we've already talked about electoral maps here, and what happens with latinos is because the market is so concentrated in three key states, in this case colorado, nevada, and florida, which are critical for deciding who makes it to the white house, those are exactly the states where we are starting to see some early numbers. some of the, you know, obama campaign officials have said there's been up to, you know, 15% more early turnout by latinos since they opened in florida. so it's definitely a big, big number, and it's going to continue to rise. you know, colorado voters, you know registered voters that are latino are up by 15% which is a big number. it will make a big difference and we are more enthusiastic, the latest numbers are 45% of

one of the things he neglects if he's talking about poverty, poverty for black and latino is concentrated poverty. not only are you poor but the household in which you live is poor, the community from which you come is poor, the schools are devastated and poor, and the surrounding resources are scarcely able to take care of you. so when he says that, he's saying nothing. he's not addressing the structural impediments to the flourishing of the very people he says ostensibly he wants to help. he has no analysis of structural impediments to them doing well and the ladder of upward mobility he's knocking down every wrung with his social policy but damning people for not getting on the ladder to climb up >> that's the professional sociological view. what is your view as an economyist? >> sure. it's a deep failure among ryan and romney to acknowledge that sometimes markets don't work well at all. now, if you've been through the great recession you can't ignore that but somehow they do, and if you walk through neighborhoods where market failure is not a recessionary activity, it's a permanent ac

it's a turnout question among young voters and latinos and african americans. these voters don't like mitt romney, but they've got to turn out in the numbers that obama saw in '08 for him to have a good chance. >> domenico, after his infamous reports about binders full of women, mitt romney is off on a bus full of women, those who have worked with the man. but his claim during the debate that women have lost 580,000 jobs in the last four years is, i believe, not strictly accurate, is that right? >> no, it's not. it's a number that's really outdated. it's a number that had he said it back in march, which he had been saying, it would have been true. but now if you calculate the number, it's only 283,000 if you calculate from january. now, there's some debate whether or not you should calculate from january or from february. february is the month -- the first full month that any president serves. if you calculate from february, well, that number drops to just 82,000 jobs that have been lost. so either way you look at it, romney wasn't accurate at the debate. >> so
